Anyone got LOA 46 and 51 language?
The 76 seat jet came in under Moak. I had him on my jumpseat discussing this very issue just weeks before the camel came into the tent. He was adamant regarding our subcontractors not flying anything over 70 seats.

Personally, I'm flexible on many issues regarding C2012 and will look at the bigger picture when reviewing the TA, but any slippage in scope is a non-starter.

I hate to wear my uniform just to be able to go outside to see, but I suppose that's always an option (a bad one, but one nonetheless).

Thanks for any and all help.
Fed Ex works great...

Wasn't Moak the deciding vote in recapturing E175 i.e. stapling the CPZ guys to the bottom of the list?

I don't know about that.... Seemed like a lost opportunity.

Here's what I do know, the pay rate for the CRJ900 is on our current contract and very close to the payrate of the subcontractors. Bring the 256th jet on the property and I'll be on the first bid. Just in case like last go around our MEC says that nobody wants to fly the jets, please let them know that you know of at least one volunteer. Well, here I am, send me!

Let your reps know that. What we hear and see now, even the rumors on the DALPA forum and on here are just that, rumors. The final deal will look a lot different than what we see today. It could take a long time, we just have to be patient with the process. There is a lot of balls in the air. Time to watch and see where they land.

Who was the MEC Chair at DALPA when ASA was running BAE-146's around with over 70 seats?

Who was the MEC Chair at NWALPA when the Mesaba Avro's with 69 seats were grandfathered in for eternity?

You don't have to like LM, but make sure you are placing the blame in the right place...

IIRC, the max "large RJ limits" at DAL and NWA were greater than 255 currently allowed. Is that considered "reducing" DCI limits or not?

I actually KNOW right where that is!

I have done the "Mug Race" a couple times, which is a sailboat race up the St. Johns river, it begins in Palatka and ends in Jacsonville, at the Rudder Club, so I have been to Palatka, even spent a night in the Holiday Inn..but we killed quite a few brain cells there, so I don't think it made me any smarter.

Yes I can see why it killed a few brain cells lol this place sucks...I cant wait to get out of Putnam County... no opportunities here at all. Yes the Holiday Inn by Lowes or the one that used to be by the River because thats the Best Western now I believe.
